We resume our story at the point where Alan and George are contemplating
diabolical ways to retaliate against Hank for all his misdeeds.
George: Be careful now. I think mom may be spying on us.
I watch in disbelief as Alan takes a bite out of Hank's butt.
That didn't get a rise out of the big guy, so Alan starts to paw at him...
...then has the nerve to stomp on him.
Hank: Was that my imagination or did I just get kicked in the ass by an ass?
Alan: Maybe we should pull his tail.
George: I'm not sure that's such a good idea.
Alan: Go ahead – try it. I've stuck my neck out enough times. It's your turn.
Alan: Pull a little harder.
At this point, I decided enough was enough.
I got off the fence, and Lucy and I went over to break things up.
Lucy: I could be wrong here, but I think Hank has just about had it with you two.
Hank: That would be a true statement.
Hank: I can't believe you let them harass me like that. It's that damned blog, isn't it?
You were taking pictures at my expense.
Me: Yeah, so maybe I was. But you know I love you,
and so do a whole bunch of other people who are smiling back at you right now.
That last picture of Hank is priceless, but ooooooh what he puts up with from those boys!

Smilling is putting it mildly.. I am laughing my ass off. Love it.
ReplyDeleteAWESOME set up of pictures! What a story they tell. Oh how I love these guys. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWhat ornery donks they are! I hope Hank retaliates when they least expect it... you know, sneak up on them from behind.
ReplyDeleteCount me among the whole bunch of people who love Hank, and Lucy, and all the rest of the critters at your place ... your stories make my mornings better.
ReplyDeletePoor, Hank.
You got the "smiling back" right!
ReplyDeleteBig smile here, with a Awwwww for that beautiful Hank smile!
ReplyDeleteAh, those burro brothers and their antics. I think they were telling Hank it's time to get up and lead the pack out to pasture!
ReplyDeleteYou got that right. I'm smiling back at Hank!
ReplyDeleteWe aren't smiling back at you Hank. We are laughing our (un-stomped) butts off. Those boys...
ReplyDeleteGlad you saved the day. Those little guys are such tormentors. They remind me of little kids. Hank still has his cute horseface on so all is well. Great shots and a great story.
ReplyDeleteBest always, Sandra
Dear Hank....
ReplyDeleteyou have my total sympathy!! I lay down to have a snooze and the phone/doorbell/dog/cats/husband all decide it is a very good time to bug me ;-(
Poor Hank...he was so comfortable.
ReplyDeleteThat was priceless! I'm surprised Hank put up with it for so long, he must have been really tired. Love the big guy what a sweetheart.
ReplyDeleteHank, you have suck patience with those boys. Smiles right back at ya! What great pictures.
ReplyDeleteAmazing! It was like they were trained to annoy. That made my morning.
ReplyDeleteAlan and George need to stay after school and clean the blackboards and Hank needs an intervention course on "Dealing with Bullies"!
ReplyDeleteAww, Hank, you're such a good boy for putting up with those guys.
ReplyDeleteJust amazing, what those boys will get up to! I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. Those little devils! Got to give Hank credit for putting up with them.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe they grabbed his tail! Have they ever done that before? It's almost as if they were worried about Hank...
ReplyDeleteLove you, Hank. Especially the whiskery lips in the last photo.
ReplyDeleteOh my, I can't believe they were so naughty! What on earth were they thinking about?
ReplyDeleteThose burros are so funny, they could take their act on the road ... and your commentary kills me! Love ya Hank!
ReplyDeletePatti
Ohhh Hank, at the expense of your patience i am laughing my ass off. Thanks for putting up with those naughty boys! These pics are excellent. Have a great day.
ReplyDeletePoor Hank... and to think you captured every indignity!
ReplyDeleteLol wow. I was surprised they actually poked Hank and chewed on his tail. I agree, have you seen them do that before? Poor Hank, haha. ^_^
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful smile! Bad burros, bad!
ReplyDeleteWhat in the world got into the fric and frac bros? Thinking they could mess with Hank is one thing but pulling his tail???? Thanks funny.
ReplyDeleteSmiling and waving at your sweet self Hank. You're such a goodie. Smiling and LMAO at Alan and George cuz they are adorable.
Oma Linda
Oh is so handsome and patient! There were very big smiles here.
ReplyDeleteThe burro boys couldn't have done a better job providing you with a story if you had trained them for months! What silly antics they provide! What were they thinking that made Hank's rump look like a good toy?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the laugh!
Poor Hank gets no respect from them, does he? Maybe he should get some Paco treats to soothe his rumpled pride.
ReplyDeleteI can not believe those two! What pesky critters they are. That last picture of Hank is adorable.
ReplyDeleteLeave it to the Burrito Brothers to start trouble. Hank, I want to kiss your nose!! You are so adorable. At least you still have your tail.
ReplyDeleteI know of a mini donkey that ate the tail off his pasture mate, a horse named Buck. Took two years for it to grow back.
Oh, my heart! These are the best pictures, and you have amazingly (as always) interpreted their thoughts and comments!!! Yes, I'm smiling back at Hank in his last photo. He's a charmer, and soooooo patient with those bad boys!!!
ReplyDeleteNancy in Iowa
Hmmmm... may be Hank has become a benevolent dictator?!
ReplyDeleteI second everything Justina said.
ReplyDeleteAlso, you nailed the whole mushy bunch of us smiling right back into Hank's handsome face. All together now..."Awwwwwww!"
Love your blog and love your pictures. It makes my day and today was laugh out loud. Maybe we should pull his tail hahaha priceless lol They really are like a couple of 5 year olds up to mischief!
ReplyDeleteDonkeys DO have a sence of humor.Had one that would sneak up, reach down with his lips,and grab the tip of a ear. Then run, before they could get up to get him!
ReplyDeleteAhh definitely made me smile!!
ReplyDeleteYes Hank! I LOVE YOU!
ReplyDeleteThey were getting back at him for the 6 ear pile up! Those donkeys remember everything!!
ReplyDeleteLove you Hank!
Those two are truly diabolical little brothers, aren't they!
ReplyDeleteThe "tail photos" made me grin.
Oh my gosh! I am laughing so hard right now. Those two are hysterical! Your captions are brilliant!
ReplyDeleteDear Hank,
ReplyDeleteLo siento.
My kids do the EXACT SAME THING to me.
Oh yeah, the whole bloggin' bunch of us other people are gratefully "smiling back at you right now!"
